Today, we are going to be talking about a tried and true productivity methodology known as the Pomodoro Technique. It was, let’s say invented, developed by Francisco cirio, an Italian student at the time, and he wanted a way to be able to conquer procrastination. And so he developed this concept of the Pomodoro Technique. Today, what we’re going to do is we’re going to talk about what the Pomodoro Technique is, if you have never experienced it, before come across it, we’re going to then talk about our own experiences with regard to how we use it or don’t use it in our systems, and why and even those of us who may be trying it out soon. And then we’re going to close out with ways in which you can modify the Pomodoro Technique, because there are ways in which you can adjust and shift it in in different ways. And maybe some tools that are available to all of us for being able to do that. Let’s talk first about what the Pomodoro Technique is, who wants to explain the Pomodoro technique for listeners.
